Easy Strawberry Brownies (Print-Friendly Version)

Strawberry brownies are a sweet spring and summer treat that’s easy to make with just a box of cake mix, eggs, and butter. Finished with a glossy strawberry glaze, they’re soft, chewy, and perfect for parties, holidays, or a quick dessert. Definitely one to keep handy.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 box strawberry cake mix
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
04 - 1 teaspoon strawberry extract

→ Glaze

05 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
06 - 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves
07 - 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper, ensuring it comes up at least two sides for easy removal.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberry cake mix, eggs, melted salted butter, and strawberry extract. Stir until a thick batter forms.
03 - Transfer batter to prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes until set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
04 - Remove pan from oven and place on a wire rack. Allow brownies to cool completely before glazing.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and milk until smooth and well combined.
06 - Evenly pour glaze over cooled brownies and smooth to cover the surface. Cut into 9 or 12 pieces and serve.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Using parchment paper with an overhang makes it easier to lift brownies from the pan for clean slicing.
